Bitcoin has been hacked so many times it isn’t even funny anymore, it’s just sad, including a $300 million hack just a few days ago.

Bitcoin has never been hacked. Nobody has ever been able to print money the protocol doesn’t allow nor spend money without the appropriate private key. People have had their Bitcoin stolen, which is like getting your wallet stolen IRL, but we don’t say ‘The USD got hacked’ or ‘The USD is insecure’ just because that happened.

And hour of downtime? Bitcoin has also had that numerous times, where you haven’t been able to process exchanges at all for hours and hours.

That’s not downtime, that’s congestion. It never stopped processing transactions. If you paid a high fee, you would go through immediately. And that’s happened rarely and doesn’t effect lightning transactions which are the ones you use if speed is a priority.
